"It looks exciting when you’re an eager brilliant undergraduate. They all say, Go on to graduate studies, and they give you a bit of money; and so you do, and you think, Now I’m going to find out the real truth. But you don’t find out, exactly, and things get pickier and pickier and more and more stale, and it all collapses in a welter of commas and shredded footnotes, and after a while it’s like anything else: you’ve got stuck in it and you can’t get out, and you wonder how you got there in the first place."

“The Edible Woman” by Margaret Atwood

I get overly excited when I find .pdfs of books that I need for paper and thesis research

I really wish this paper would just write itself.

Why don’t any libraries have the books I need for my papers and dissertation?

Watch out Bluestockings and Strand, I’m going to have to buy a lot of books from you.
